After just reading that recent article about working conditions at Tesla and the struggles there to produce at high enough quality levels, it is surprising that he is working on this as well.

One can't help but to take it seriously considering his other achievements, but I hope he doesn't stretch himself too thin.

- Tesla

- SpaceX

- Boring Co

- Neuralink

- Flamethrower innovator

Neuralink has a CEO, board, other employees. It functions with or without him.

You are reading to much into random news articles. Detailed breakdown of the Tesla (done for other car companies) actually show that the were incredible innovative and have the highest quality of software, electronics, batteries, electrical engine and so on. All aspect that are way more important then that the panel caps or the plastic covers on your car are perfect.

I don't think he is involved with Neuralink at the same level as Tesla and SpaceX. Those are his primary projects, everything else is a small part.

> Flamethrower innovator It was a small project or just sidekick. It's done

>Boring Co Seems like no struggles there. Tech is established

>Tesla They scaled it and are out of production hell

> SpaceX Things are going smooth there. They have nailed landings and launches. No immediate fires to address

Looks like Elon have some capacity to focus on other endeavors.

The only fires that SpaceX needs to address are the actual ones, like at the launchpad explosion a couple months back.

You mean a couple years ago? There hasn't been a launchpad explosion since 2016. That was resolved a long time ago.

Crew Dragon (still uncrewed) exploded on April 20 this year during a test after its return from ISS. https://www.space.com/spacex-crew-dragon-explosion-nasa-memo... It sounds like the program was only set back for a few months though.
